About Life of Assyrian
Independent Journalism. Original Research. Analysis. Culture.
Life of Assyrian is an independent news and research organization delivering original reporting, research, and analysis on Assyrian affairs, history, culture, heritage, and Middle East politics.
Founded in 2023, Life of Assyrian is an independently operated publication covering issues and developments in the Middle East and beyond. Its editorial work combines original reporting, historical research, source-based analysis, cultural coverage, and explanatory journalism.
The publication’s name reflects its Assyrian roots and its connection to the history and cultural heritage of Mesopotamia. However, its editorial scope extends beyond Assyrian subjects. Life of Assyrian covers a broad range of topics, including politics, international affairs, history, archaeology, science, technology, religion, society, identity, culture, and contemporary developments.

Our Approach
Life of Assyrian seeks to distinguish reporting, analysis, research, and opinion clearly. Our work relies, where appropriate, on primary documents, academic publications, peer-reviewed research, archaeological reports, government records, international organizations, institutional archives, museums, universities, official statements, public records, interviews, and other documented sources.
Historical and scientific claims are evaluated according to the available evidence. Where credible sources disagree, those disagreements are acknowledged rather than presented as settled fact. We also recognize that evidence can change and that responsible reporting requires updating or correcting information when significant new evidence becomes available.
Original Reporting & Research
Life of Assyrian publishes original reporting, research, historical analysis, investigations, and explanatory journalism. When reporting draws upon another publication or institution, the original source is identified where appropriate.
Our research may examine historical documents, archival material, scholarly literature, archaeological evidence, public records, scientific studies, and contemporary events. The objective is to provide readers with context and sources that allow them to evaluate the evidence for themselves.
Editorial Independence
Life of Assyrian is independently owned and operated. Its editorial decisions are not directed by a government, political party, religious institution, or outside media organization.
The publication’s editorial approach is guided by evidence, source evaluation, journalistic standards, research, and public interest. Independence does not mean the absence of perspective; it means that reporting and analysis are not produced on behalf of an outside political or governmental authority.
Corrections & Accountability
Life of Assyrian takes accuracy seriously. Significant factual errors are reviewed and corrected when identified. Material corrections are made transparently, and readers are encouraged to contact the publication when they identify information that requires clarification or correction.

Cultural Heritage & Preservation

Our heritage coverage includes Assyrian and Mesopotamian history as well as the broader cultural heritage of the Middle East. Where material originates from museums, archives, universities, researchers, photographers, or other institutions, attribution is provided where appropriate.
Our Mission
Life of Assyrian exists to report, research, document, and explain.
Our work examines Assyrian affairs and the wider Middle East while also covering history, culture, archaeology, science, technology, politics, society, and international developments.
